This race is sponsored by the Sailfish Club of Palm Beach and the Lauderdale Yacht Club. Our start was at 10:05 with the wind out of the North Northeast at about 15 knots. We made the decision to sail with our ap#1 and try to stay as close to rumb as possible.

| After the start |
The Gulf Stream was half the strength in front of Ft. Lauderdale so it did not matter that we stayed closer to shore. However an hour in the race the wind started to go right and picked up a couple of more knots so as we got in the stream it got pretty rough. We got about a 2 knot push so in order to make good progress the crew had to endure getting wet by sitting on the rail. We got as far as 8 miles offshore to ride the conveyor. We probably went in a little early but it was enough to win PHRF overall.
